All Chapters of The Girl He Chose: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Her account showed Jonathan going on a trip to see the aurora borealis with her. There was even a day where he rented a whole island to celebrate their anniversary. They laughed together in places I could not even afford to dream of visiting.It felt as if something had wrapped around my throat, tightening little by little, squeezing the air from my lungs.Late that night, the door creaked open. Jonathan walked in and frowned. "Why's it so cold in here?"Although the neighborhood was in the city center, the apartment itself was old, and the heating barely worked. The tenants had moved away because they could not stand the cold. I had only stayed because the landlord promised to waive six months of rent.The door was ajar. I said nothing. Only a sigh escaped me, turning into a faint white mist in the freezing air.Jonathan went into the bedroom and came back with a blanket. Then he wrapped it around me. "This is how you take care of yourself while I'm not around? How do you expect

The moment the livestream began, a large crowd flooded into the room. When they realized it was me, they bombarded the chat and called me a homewrecker.Natalie pretended to be gracious. "Be nice, people. She's here to apologize."All eyes turned to me. My lips curled into a cold smile."I'm Linda Gray, and I'm here to apologize. I should have quietly watched the real mistress, Natalie Shaw, steal my boyfriend of seven years. I should have let her twist the story and send the Internet after me without making a sound. I'm sorry for not taking it lying down!"Jonathan quickly turned the livestream off, but it had hit the top search chart. 'Natalie Shaw, the homewrecker' had become the number one topic.Jonathan laughed mirthlessly. "You'd better not regret this! Stop all payments to the sanatorium!"I trembled. If the payments stopped now, my mother would die. Jonathan grabbed my hand and stuffed me into the car. "We're going to the hospital. You'll see how your mother pays for you

"What?" Jonathan's eyes turned red, and all the blood rushed straight to his head. He turned and ran like a madman, threw himself into his car, and slammed down on the gas.Natalie was behind him, shouting, "Slow down! Wait for me!"But he did not hear her. At that moment, Natalie barely even existed to him. Only one thought filled his mind.He had to go back. He had to save me from that fire.But then he ran into heavy traffic, and his car slowed to a crawl. Time had never been more torturous. He slammed his steering wheel and opened the door, then he ran out, ignoring the danger.The fire had been put out when he arrived at the hospital. As Jonathan stared at the smoking window, something squeezed his heart. He rushed forward and grabbed one of the staff members at the scene. With a trembling voice, he asked, "Any casualties?"There was fear in his heart. Fear he never realized.The cop investigating the scene raised his head. He thought Jonathan was the patient's relative or

I sat on the beach, staring at the endless blue sea before me. But inside, my heart felt completely empty.Zach Olive came to me and handed me a glass of juice. "What's on your mind?" he asked gently.I turned around and smiled at him as I took the glass. Zach was my friend back when I was little. Back then, my father was still alive, and my family had not yet been crushed by debt.We had a great childhood together, but he went overseas not long afterward. The memories I had of him only stretched to elementary school.On that terrible night, I jumped off the third floor and managed to survive. The bones in my legs were fractured, and I had collapsed by the roadside. Zach was the one who found me and took me away.I had never believed in miracles. But at the darkest moment of my life, heaven seemed to send him to save me.He did not ask what had happened. He could see that I did not want to stay in that city anymore. That place had broken my heart.After I recovered enough to lea

"What are you talking about? What child?" Jonathan stood there in stunned disbelief."Of course you wouldn't know. Back then, you were too busy comforting Natalie, telling me to stop making a scene. I called and begged you to save me, to save our baby. "But you chose Natalie instead. Jonathan, how do you have the nerve to ask for my forgiveness?"Seeing the shock on his face gave me a strange sense of satisfaction."I… I didn't know. I'm sorry, Linda. I really didn't know."But even if he had known, what would it have changed?Deep down, Jonathan had always looked down on me. Even if we had truly had a child together, would he really have told me who he was and taken me back to the Mueller family?Or would things have turned out even worse? Would he have kept pretending to be poor and let me live my whole life as a fool?Looking at his pale face, I spoke each word with absolute clarity. "Jonathan, you destroyed every hope I ever had. You killed our child. You drove my mother t
